Blogging Roller

It is funny how the (hopefully) final release of Roller 0.9.6 today coincided with the release I've been working on at my day job. I really did not want these things to happen at the same time, but as they say when it rains it pours. Either nothing happens, or everything happens all at once.

Both releases took longer than expected and stretched out over a busy and stressful two month period. During that time I lost some wonderful co-workers to a "reduction in force," moved into a cramped new office, moved again into a larger new office, was threatened with a law-suit, got a promotion, and lost my favorite boss to Microsoft.

I really can't complain. I still have a job, I still enjoy it, and I would much rather be busy than bored. On top of that, I have an awesome family and a wife that understands my geekly obsessions - as long as I have a baby in my lap. I'm not going to complain. I'm going to take some time to regroup, think about what I have learned, and hope for some more busy months.
